so i just turned 16 and im pretty much well developed. i have pubic hair,i have to shave, and i have some chest hair. but the question is that i dont have barely any armpit hair.!!! I dont know why but i dont. i have to use antiprespirant bc of odors but there is no hair. could this be genetic bc i also have barely any leg hair at all either.. I need help.. i think i should have armpit hair by now, but who knows!!

that's perfectly normal. Sometimes certain hair comes in before others. Maybe it's genetic like you said, or it could come in later.
Maybe you won't grow any at all. There's no problem with that either, some people aren't that hairy

zach is right. body hair is strange in that it grows around your body at different times and you can differ from other people about the amount if any hair at all. don't worry about it mate.

maybe, but i wouldn't think so because that would affect all your body hair, wouldn't it?

well testosterone isn't the only hormone that affects puberty.
And to answer your question it might be, but we can't tell you, because we don't know whether you have low testosterone levels or not.
Even more so, our answers are probably what's the problem, I think you're worrying too much, puberty is much more simple than people make it out to be. Most likely over anything, your body is just developing differently from others. In fact everybody's body develops differently, there's no rules for how you're supposed to develop, so whatever the case is, you're fine!
I agree with boomerang :D
